From personalised massages and restorative facials to a private villa retreat, these wellness experiences offer a relaxing way to mark Emirati Women’s Day.
Emirati Women’s Day is an opportunity to recognise the remarkable women in our lives, and a relaxing wellness experience is a thoughtful way to show someone you care. Book a treatment as a gift for your mother, sister or friend, or gather a group of friends and family for a day of pampering together. Here are seven experiences to discover.
Massage and Afternoon Tea at Raffles Dubai
Raffles Dubai combines two indulgent experiences for an Emirati Women’s Day celebration designed to be shared. The experience begins with a 60-minute treatment at Raffles Spa, where guests can choose from three oils according to their preferred benefit, including relaxation and lifting.
The massage can be tailored to areas of tension, making it feel more personal than a standard spa treatment. Having experienced it firsthand, I can confirm that the treatment delivered: the knots in my shoulders were genuinely gone by the end, and I left feeling lighter and completely reset.
Afterwards, guests can continue the afternoon at Raffles Salon with the hotel’s signature Afternoon Tea. The menu includes savouries, warm scones and pastries, accompanied by free-flowing TWG teas. It is an ideal option for mothers and daughters, sisters or friends.

Price: Dhs450 per person for Afternoon Tea and a 60-minute massage
